Monthly Journal - April

This swap is for a 5 inch by 7 inch (12.7cm x 17.78cm) journal page, it is senders choice and I will be doing these monthly. If you are inspired to create your journal page to a theme of the month, for example; hearts and Valentine whatnots in February, then by all means go for it but please do keep it appropriate. Most people do not appreciate pages that are  religious, political, sexual or gory, so please refrain from those.

Draw, paint, color, write, doodle, zentangle, collage, whatever. Just make sure it is 5 inches by 7 inches and that you put your best efforts in it. Also, so that it can stand any kind of binding, please use a sturdy paper, at least cardstock strength. For example, if you want use book pages for your background, then so that its sturdy cut a Twinkie box to the right size and glue them to that.

Because this is sender's choice you can make it an art page or leave room for writing. I do encourage contacting your partner to find their preferences. If anyone has a binding preferences, then add it in the comments after you sign up for the swap.  This is sender's choice, so there is no guarantee that you'll get your choice binding but having it available makes it more likely. On the back of your page include the name of the swap and your name. 

Also, include a note for your partner with the date, your name, location and the name of the swap. If you would like, add a little bit about the inspiration for your page. The note should not be any bigger than 5 by 7 and written on one side only. The note is its own separate page and does not need to be on sturdy paper, copy paper, note paper is just fine.

So... one page, one note, one partner. You will have 3 weeks to finish the page once partners are assigned.

Who can or cannot  participate:  no "one" or unexplained "three" ratings within the last 6 months. I will ban at my discretion. If you are new and have no ratings at all, feel free to sign up.

Rate a 5 if you receive a 5 inch by 7 inch page and a note. Rate a 5, even if you don't like it!! You are NOT rating on the quality of the page or on whether or not you like it. Since this is a "senders choice" swap, your partner is not required to read your profile first.

I am not online on a daily basis but if you have any questions, please pm me and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
